Bi Cuiqiu also heard that Qiao Ningdai didn't have much patience, so she had to look at Second Master Qiao.

The last person in the family to make a decision was Second Master Qiao!

Second Master Qiao was hesitating.

What to hesitate about?

He wanted to borrow the silver from Qiao Lixi without much effort, and he also hoped that the silver would be lost in the end.

Qiao Ningdai analyzed it well.

They are relatives with Qiao Lixi, even if they split up and tear their faces, Qiao Lixi will not lose face, chase and beat them, and even take back their houses and shops.

It is possible to collect debts, but as long as they pretend to be pitiful, Qiao Lixi will not rush to kill them all, at most give them some more time.

If you do it too much, Qiao Lixi will ignore it.

They are not ignorant of what is good or bad, as long as they have enough time, when they have eased their breath, how much silver should be repaid, they will pay it back, and they will not take advantage of Qiao Yixi.

Moreover, as Qiao Ningdai said, she is the concubine of the Second Highness, they are the people of the Second Highness, no matter who the Marquis of Zhenyuan wants to assist in the end, the identity of the "prince" of the Second Highness is there, and the Marquis of Zhenyuan will not let Qiao Yixi treat them like this The second room of the Qiao family.

It's just that......

The reason why Second Master Qiao couldn't make up his mind was entirely because of Qiao Lixi's uncontrollability.

When he was still in Jincheng, the changes in this child made him incomprehensible, and now, Qiao Lixi has become the eldest daughter-in-law of the Marquis of Dingguo's mansion, and the granddaughter-in-law of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, and even the Feng family and Qiao Lixi have lost several battles, and he has to think more about it.

Qiao Lixi is no longer the wooden Qiao Lixi in the Qiao family's house in Jincheng.

Her identity, the confidence given to her by the Gu family and the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion behind her, Qiao Xingbang even gave her all the properties under his name, this is to support her financially and let her show her strength.

Although Qiao Lixi's identity is not as good as that of His Second Highness, crushing them is really just a matter of moving his mouth, he has to think about it carefully.

"Father," Qiao Ningdai didn't give Qiao Er Ye extra time, "Qiao Yixi is still waiting for her daughter's reply." ”

"What did Qiao Lixi tell you?" Second Master Qiao asked again.

Qiao Ningdai was already impatient, but she had to suppress the irritability in her heart, and said in a tone that was not very good: "Qiao Yixi only said that he could give us another month of grace and give the lowest interest." At the beginning, her daughter went to her bank to borrow silver under the banner of Qiao Lixi, without collateral materials, and borrowed tens of thousands of taels just by virtue of the relationship between her daughter and Qiao Lixi. Because I was afraid that something would happen halfway, my daughter borrowed the silver and repaid it in the second month. This time, the daughter lent the silver to the Yan family, but she didn't expect the Yan family to abscond with the money, and the daughter has been looking for people for a month, and there is no progress at all. The deadline on Qiao Yixi's side has also arrived, and in desperation, I want to find her to have more grace time. Qiao Yixi agreed yes, but asked her daughter to complete the formalities, after all, she wanted to give an explanation to the people below. ”

"It doesn't sound like much, it's all a normal procedure." Second Master Qiao said to himself.

"Father, you can rest assured, Qiao Lixi is a money bank, she still has this integrity, otherwise, how can she make money? As for whether we can pay back the money, as long as we have enough time, these are not problems. The daughter has already negotiated with the people in the gambling house, and when she gets the money, the daughter will directly get the silver to the gambling house, and the money will make money. Now, the only thing my daughter is worried about is how much silver we can get from Qiao Lixi after counting our house and shop. Because we have to remove the tens of thousands of taels borrowed by our daughter last time, the rest is what we can get this time. ”

This is also something that Second Master Qiao pondered.

Silver begets silver.

Naturally, the larger the base, the more births.

Because they not only have to rely on this silver to solve the problem of the deficit of the "Shu Embroidery Building" in the past two months, but also make up for the tens of thousands of taels of vacancies taken away by the Yan family.

This is the most basic, no matter whether the person who Marquis Zhenyuan wants to assist in the end is the second prince or not, they have to show this gesture, as for whether Qiao Lixi will take the initiative to take out the silver to help them, it's a later story.

"If it's okay with Qiao Lixi's side, just do what you want." After a long time, Second Master Qiao finally made a decision.

Qiao Ningdai's face was happy, "Father, the deed ......"

Second Master Qiao looked at Bi Cuiqiu.

Bi Cuiqiu immediately turned around and entered the inner room, and soon, she took out two contracts and handed them to Qiao Ningdai, but she was still very hesitant.

Qiao Ningdai promised: "Mother, don't worry, in this matter, Qiao Yixi doesn't dare to use her brains against us, she just wants a certificate so that she can give an explanation to the people below." As long as we pay her some interest next month, she will definitely not urge us to repay. The principal is written there in black and white, we can't rely on it, she gives us an extra month, she charges an extra month of interest, what is she not happy about? As long as we drag on for two or three months, and when the matter of the Second Highness is decided, we don't have to pay back Qiao Yixi's silver, she also got married to the second prince, how can it be a win-win situation, Qiao Yixi is not a fool, what is there to be unwilling? ”

Bi Cuiqiu was a little relieved at this time.

Even if the second prince was not assisted by the Marquis of Zhenyuan in the end, Qiao Lixi would not lose.

Just like her daughter said, the principal is written on the contract, they can't rely on it, Qiao Yixi gives them an extra month, and they give them an extra month of interest.

Qiao Ningdai discussed a few more words with Second Master Qiao before leaving with the deed.

She did not immediately return to the "Wutong Pavilion", but dragged it until the next day.

Qiao Ningdai's idea is very simple, she can't be seen by Qiao Lixi that she is in a hurry, and she has to have the posture she should have.

Qiao Lixi met Qiao Ningdai at the "Wutong Pavilion" as usual.

Qiao Ningdai looked for Qiao Lixi for two days in a row, and also entered the "Wutong Pavilion", not only the people in the Hou Mansion were surprised, but even the people who were watching outside were also surprised.

Thinking of Qiao Yixi's words in Jincheng, he was alert and began to track down the whereabouts of the second prince.

The second prince has been recuperating during this time, not only did he not go to the early court, but he never even showed his face, everyone is very suspicious, the second prince is still not in the capital.

The turmoil outside, Qiao Lixi has no time to deal with it, she is calculating accounts with Qiao Ningdai.

The conversion of the house, the conversion of "Shu Embroidery Building", and the silver that Qiao Ningdai should have repaid with interest before, plus and minus, calculated, Qiao Lixi still had to give Qiao Ningdai 20,000 taels of silver.

"That's it?" Qiao Ningdai was very dissatisfied.

Qiao Lixi was in a rare mood and said: "Although every inch of land in the capital is expensive, the location of the two-bedroom house is relatively partial, and it is still very small, and I will give you the market price." The most valuable 'Shu embroidery building', the location is very good, the two-story shop is very valuable in the capital, so I did not treat Aunt Dai badly in the price, if Aunt Dai is not satisfied, we can not do this business. I am a very talkative person, I pay attention to your love and my willingness to do business, and I never force others to make it difficult. ”

Qiao Ningdai's face immediately darkened.

The price that Qiao Lixi gave her was naturally the highest market price, but excluding the previous debt, she only got 20,000 taels of silver, which was about the same as she expected, but it was too little. When she got the gambling house, she immediately lent it out, and the interest in her hand was returned, and after deducting the part of the gambling house, she would not get much in her hand.

Qiao Yixi closed the account book, "Why don't Aunt Dai think about it again, it's just that today, we have to calculate this month's silver clearly." ”

Qiao Lixi is also very direct, either give her the deed and she lends the silver to Qiao Ningdai, or Qiao Ningdai takes the deed back and settles the account directly.

"You write the contract." Qiao Ningdai no longer hesitated.

Get the money in your hands as soon as possible, send it to the gambling house, release it early, and calculate the interest early.

As for the rest, we'll talk about it later.

Qiao Yixi nodded at the steward of the bank.

The latter wrote a rigorous loan certificate in accordance with the official document format, which was originally in duplicate, but Qiao Lixi made three copies this time, and one of them was sent to the government for the record.

"Jojo, what do you mean?" After carefully reviewing the contract and making sure that there was nothing wrong, Qiao Ningdai put the contract away, and finally did not forget to question it again.

Qiao Yixi said: "I also want to make sure that nothing goes wrong. No matter what our two families say, we are also related to each other, and we are the ones who really want to be more shameless, so we want to file directly with the government, and if there is any dispute, it is better to go directly to a third party than our two families there. Behind you is the second prince, and behind me is the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, in case there is a conflict, it will be taken out by someone with a heart to make a big fuss, which is not good for both of us. ”

Qiao Ningdai looked at Qiao Yixi in disbelief.

I have to say that Qiao Lixi's words have some truth.

Getting the official record is a guarantee for both of them.

Moreover, she read the contract carefully, and there was not a word on it related to the second prince and the Marquis of Zhenyuan, that is, a lawsuit, and it was also a matter of the second and fourth rooms of the Qiao family.

"It's done, Qiaoqiao, can you give me the silver?" Qiao Ningdai was indeed in a hurry.

Qiao Lixi didn't say much, took out a few silver tickets and handed them to Qiao Ningdai.

After Qiao Ningdai confirmed that the amount was correct, she took the maid and left.

"Miss......" Mama Shen came over.

Qiao Yixi handed the deed to Mama Shen, "Keep it, next month, it will be ours." ”

Astragalus smacked her tongue, "Aunt Dai has the ability, and she actually has the deed of 'Shu Embroidery Building' in her hand!" However, this is Tao Xue's name, is it really okay? ”

"There must be a problem, but it's not big," Qiao Yixi said disapprerovingly, "Although the name of the contract is Tao Xue's, the second prince is the real head of the 'Shu Embroidery Building', and it was bought by Tao Taifu that year and given to the second prince's birthday gift, Tao Xue is in black and white, and he wrote a certificate to the second prince." ”

"The family is so clear?" Astragalus asked.

"Calculate it well, so as not to get dirty and restless when you get it." Qiao Lixi admired Tao Mingxing's methods very much.

If you don't talk about others, you talk about yourself.

I can't know, or control when there should be undesirable ambitions, and instead of fighting as a family at that time, it is better to divide the accounts from the beginning.
